Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of server energy and cooling management.
- TCO total cost of ownership
- the present technology assumes, according to one embodiment, a holistic view of data centers as a cyberphysical system where the cooling solutions work in unison with the computing level solutions for energy management in a coordinated fashion.
- the total energy expended in the computing components and the energy expended in the cooling system is treated as a first class resource that needs to be scheduled explicitly to maximize the overall energy-efficiency of the data center.
- One embodiment of aspects of the technology is multi-tiered and includes:
- thermal models can be implemented with minor modification to semiconductor devices, to provide software access to registers and counters which monitor operation of the chip. As the chip processes information, various types of activities are tracked, and these tracked activities may then be read by software to implement the models.
- the models may be executed on the same semiconductor as an additional process within a multitasking processing stream, within a special core dedicated to this process, either on or off the integrated circuit, or by a remote system.
- the modified server operating system kernels typically do not require hardware modifications, though sensors may be required beyond those present in standard components of the computing system. In particular, integration and interfacing of external cooling system sensors and controls may require additional hardware modules.
- the global scheduler is typically provided as part of a load distribution switch, which is a standard hardware component, but executes software in accordance with the present embodiments.
- the task allocation algorithm favors loading of servers to near capacity, which may be defined by performance limitations or thermal limitations, before allocating tasks to other servers.
- the allocation may distinguish between different blades within a rack, with each rack typically being controlled on a thermal basis, i.e., to stay within a desired thermal envelope while achieving cost-efficient cooling, while each blade may be allocated tasks which balance performance and energy efficiency, while remaining within safe thermal limits.
- a preferred embodiment may be implemented in a scaled down data center consisting of Linux server racks with floor plenum and portable computer room air conditioners (CRACs) and a variety of sensors, or a full data center with server racks in a facility with centrally or distributed control cooling system.
- CRACs computer room air conditioners
- Preliminary results indicate that the present approach can realize about a 20% improvement in the energy efficiency of the data center.
- Typical server installations use a large number of server machines to accommodate a typical set of incoming requests. Such installations use a single or a series of load balancing switches (also called front-end switches) to direct the incoming requests to the servers.
- load balancing switches also called front-end switches
- the policies implemented for such directions are oblivious of the energy implications and focus primarily on the performance goals (latency, uniform loading etc.).
- Typical servers are designed to be most energy-efficient at or near their peak load settings and the average loading on individual servers with a processing load distributed in accordance with typical load balancing switch algorithms are generally well below the peak load levels. Consequently, servers operate at low energy-efficiency levels for most of the time.
- the front-end load balancing switches are made aware of the processing load level, energy dissipation levels and local temperatures (or other thermal-related variable) for each server.
- the firmware on these switches include an algorithm to only keep a minimum number of servers active, with each such active server operated at or near their peak load levels (and thus at very high energy-efficiency levels), to handle the current set of jobs. As the job demands grow, additional servers are bought on-line (recruited) from their inactive state; as demands shrink, more servers are de-activated to save power. In some cases, an asymmetric architecture is provided, in which servers having different load-efficiency characteristics are employed.
- the load balancing switch can also direct cooling selectively towards the active servers. This can be done, for instance, by regulating airflow using louvers or vents, by increasing airflow near the active servers, by activating and controlling localized air conditioning units mounted on the racks or adjacent to racks.
- heat produced by a server system can be used to heat a facility.
- the heat produced is in excess of that required for the facility, or the efficiency of utilizing the waste heat is low.
- the remaining heat is shed to the exterior, for example by directly venting hot air flows, heat pumps (e.g., air conditioners), or waster cooling systems. Any harvesting of the waste heat may, of course, be considered in the allocation decisions, including the efficiency of the harvesting and its net cost benefit.
- the logic for the switch can also be enhanced to determine an increase in the offered load by examining the occupancies of the incoming queues associated with the input ports of the switch and the rate at which they change. This information can be used to activate standby servers in advance. Additionally, idle servers can be started up and moved into the standby mode in anticipation of the increase in offered workload. The same mechanism can be used to deactivate servers if the offered workload decreases.
- the switch logic which may be internal to a switching device, or provided externally, may be further enhanced to accept utilization data from the active server and make use of it (optionally with the above sensed input queue sizes) to decide if the offered workload is increasing or decreasing and to eventually activate/deactivate servers (as before) based on the detected workload trend.
- a lesser capacity server may have a lower clock rate CPU, slower memory and bus speeds, lower power (and slower) local hard drive, and/or lower speed network connection.
- the load balancing switch algorithm need not model each increment in capacity as being a linear increase over a prior one, and indeed may optimize allocation of a task to a respective resource, e.g., server, based on the characteristics of the available resources, including their power consumption and thermal environment, as well as processing capacity.
- the load balancer optimizes the headroom of the system after allocation of the task, so that subsequent tasks can be efficiently allocated as well on a statistical basis.
- Virtualization technology may be used, if needed to make the server system appear as a set of homogeneous servers, even if it is not.
- cloud computing technologies may be employed on a cost-efficiency and/or energy optimal basis.
- cloud computing systems do not provide transparency over the exact destination of a task, thus making energy efficiency consideration difficult.
- a balancing algorithm may calculate an equivalent cost for incremental load, and use a cloud-type system for incremental usage which would be inefficiently performed locally. For example, a compute task which leaves a server 95% underutilized might be cost inefficient, and better offloaded to an external system, even if the incremental cost as compared to a local, fully loaded server is relatively high.
- Additional features built into the modified switch firmware can activate or deactivate servers, taking into account performance goals and temperature trends, based on, for example, incoming queue sizes to switch and their growth or shrink rate, utilization of active servers, as measured by the OS, temperature data sensed directly or indirectly, and air flow (or other cooling facility) data.
- incoming queue sizes to switch and their growth or shrink rate utilization of active servers, as measured by the OS
- temperature data sensed directly or indirectly temperature data sensed directly or indirectly
- air flow (or other cooling facility) data a few servers are maintained in a standby state before they are switched off.
- the number of requests in the incoming queues of the front-end switch ports can be used to anticipate the load level of the server and drive server activation/deactivation.
- the potential availability of an external resource may also be considered when determining whether a server is activated or deactivated.
- Servers typically have a maximum specified operating temperature, above which damage may occur.
- processor manufacturers in some cases permit systems or system components to exceed steady state maximum power dissipation for short periods, in order to increase peak performance.
- thermal monitoring and reaction is useful or necessary, especially for a server rack running at full load, and thus high thermal dissipation.
- the temperature of a rack is dependent on many factors, relating to both heat generation, and heat dissipation.
- the heat generation may be estimated by the load balancing (or in this case, load allocation) switch by profiling the tasks to be performed, and a statistically and empirically determined amount of power which is consumed by that task.
- the system may include various types of sensors.
- board and system level components may have intrinsic thermal sensing capability that can be read by software, and passed on to the switches. Additional sensors can be provided which are interfaced through individual servers, or provided as a separate sensing network.
- the switch can received processed data representing temperatures and/or energy consumption and/or energy consumption per time interval from individual computing systems, or it may receive unprocessed or minimally processed data which is then processed and calibrated at the switch level. The switch therefore can use the data to schedule tasks within a across a plurality of servers, and/or adjust the performance settings of the servers and/or adjust the cooling directed at individual racks or servers.
- a thermally responsive fan will spin faster when the sensor indicates a higher temperature, thus violating a presumption of constant thermal dissipation characteristics.
- the load allocation server receives a temperature (or other relevant thermal variable) input, since a server operating at peak temperature should probably not receive further tasks, except to replace those which complete.
- an analysis of the server may indicate that components of the server system are underutilized, and thus an increase in task load which implicate those components would result in a lesser increase in thermal load than those which are fully utilized, especially the processor(s).
- the load allocation server may select those tasks, which incur low incremental thermal load yet make use of resources within the server which are available for additional use.
- servers which are below their peak temperature for example a server which is just being activated, may be allocated tasks which cause relatively high thermal dissipation, and thus would be inappropriate for a “hot” server.
- thermal dissipation increases with thermal differential, and therefore a hot server or rack is more efficiently cooled by a flow of air at a constant temperature as compared to a cooler server.
- the loading of servers to achieve maximum temperatures is also an advantage.
- the total thermal dissipation is generally decreased for a highly loaded server system than for the same set of tasks distributed across a larger number of lightly loaded servers, and therefore even in the case of a heat pump cooled facility, the present system is more efficient.
- Switches can use a combination of one or more of the following to decide how to schedule workload and activate or deactivate servers:
- switch logic directs cooling effort to where it's needed.
- a cooling system model may be implemented to ensure that the cooling is achieved efficiently, and, for example, may provide cost-benefit data to the switch.
- the traditional load balancing switch is reconfigured/reprogrammed to be a load concentration switch, which predicts when a new server or bank of servers on a rack needs to be activated and/or deactivated, and optionally provides an ability to use external resources on a cost-efficiency basis.
- the load allocation switch may further include an economic optimization which balances performance, which may be somewhat diminished by highly loading servers, with improvements in efficiency.
- server lifetime and reliability are adversely affected by high operating temperatures, and is may also be treated as a cost. It is noted that the economic life of a server system is typically less than the mean time between failures of the system at maximum rated temperature, and therefore this cost may be relatively low.
- the reliability cost incurred in operating one portion of the system at maximum load may be recovered, in whole or in part, by deactivating other servers.
- the allocation algorithm may rotate highly loaded servers, on one hand, to balance lifetime, or concentrate stresses on a single system, on the other. One reason for concentrating stresses is, for example, to focus maintenance efforts on a smaller number of systems which operate continuously, rather than on a large distributed system in which failures in any portion are equally probable.

- FIG. 3 shows a block diagram of a prior art computing system.
- a scaled down data center which demonstrates a unique approach to addressing the data center energy crisis.
- the energy spent on the computing equipment and by the cooling system is treated as a first class resource and managed explicitly in the present approach in a proactive as well as reactive manner.
- dynamic and directed cooling is employed, that skews the cooling efforts to match the actual and projected cooling demands of the individual or groups of racks. Cooling for a rack is controlled based on sensors (i.e., a reactive control), a prospective set of tasks or functions in a queue (i.e., a proactive control), and an operating system component of each subsystem which permits a modification of energy demand.
- a cooling system may have higher efficiency when cooling a relatively hotter server than a cooler one, and therefore overall efficiency may be increased by permitting some server racks to run near a maximum operating temperature, and other racks to be essentially deactivated, pending peak demand recruitment. While running at relatively higher temperatures may be a factor in reducing a mean time between failures (MBTF), the usable life of blades in a data center is typically well in excess of the economic life; further, even if there is a failure, the data center will typically have automatic failover fault tolerance systems. Indeed, if some racks in the data center are specifically designed to always run near peak capacity and high temperature, these may be configured for more efficient operation, for example, greater spacing from other racks, to permit better heat load shedding without affecting adjacent racks, and higher temperature specification components.
- MBTF mean time between failures
- One embodiment of the technology improves the overall energy-efficiency of a data center in a holistic manner, and targets both the energy expended in operating the equipment and the energy expended in the cooling system.
- a key aspect of is to coordinate the activities of all of the energy consumers in a data center. These consumers include the individual severs and communication infrastructures as well as the cooling system components.
- Some current solutions to this problem have addressed inefficiencies in the use of power conversion devices, the cooling system and the servers themselves [Sh 09, BH 07, BH 09, LRC+ 08]. Emerging solutions to this problem have also started to address the need to coordinate the activities of these consumers [BH 09, NSSJ 09, SBP+ 05, TGV 08].
- the work of [TGV 08] has proposed an approach for minimizing the energy expended on the cooling equipment by minimizing the inlet temperature through appropriate job scheduling.
- the work of [NSSJ 09] coordinates the energy expended on the computing equipment and the cooling infrastructures and allocates energy budgets to virtual machines.
- Such VM energy budgets are not easy to implement, as energy expended by a VM is not easy to track and control; energy dissipation in many related components are ignored in simplifications that are used.
- emerging solutions have a number of potential limitations:
- the present approach allocates energy budgets to servers, racks, storage and communication components and adapts the cooling effort dynamically to match the energy dissipated in these components.
- the energy consumption in the computing components are modeled using accurate empirical formulas and server-local (and global) scheduling techniques are used to limit server energy consumption within the allocated budget. This is a far more practical approach compared to any scheme that operates on the basis of energy budget allocations to VMs.
- the energy dissipation estimates from these empirical models are used to schedule the energy budgets for the computing equipment and the dynamic cooling system, along with the workload.
- the present control system uses both proactive and reactive control mechanisms to manage the data center effectively in the face of sudden workload variations and to mitigate latencies associated with the activation and deactivation of servers and VMs.
- the energy expended in the communication infrastructures (switches, in particular) and in the cooling system itself should be considered.
- the present approach considers the total energy expended in the computing, storage, communications and cooling system as an explicitly scheduled resource and to schedule the computing and cooling resources using a common framework.
- the end goal is to maximize the energy efficiency of the data center, consistent with the performance goals.
- a cost optimization paradigm may also be implemented. In a cost optimization, the costs and benefits are normalized, and a set of conditions with a maximum net benefit is selected.
- the costs in this case may be energy costs, though other costs can also be considered in the calculation, such as maintenance costs, operating costs, license fees, etc.
- the benefits are typically considered as the net work output of the system, e.g., computing results, though values may be placed on the speed, latency, accuracy and completeness, etc. of the result. Indeed, assuming the same computational task, the result may be worth more to some users than others.
- the energy efficiency considerations may be modified or distorted based on a variety of extrinsic factors.
- the cost optimization factors may be analyzed in a centralized controller, which permits an allocation of tasks at a scheduler or load balancer element, distributed to the various processing cores and made part of the modified operating system kernel, or a hybrid approach. Of course, other elements may also provide these functions.
- the system preferably makes the best use of the energy expended in operating the computing and communication equipment as well as the energy expended in the cooling system.
- the energy expended by the computing and communication equipment and the cooling system is considered a first class resource and managed explicitly.
- Servers are allocated individual energy budgets and a modified Linux kernel in the servers is used to dynamically adjust the system settings and perform a local scheduling to stay within the individual server's energy budget allocation.
- the computation of the energy budgets for servers/racks and the control of the cooling system to effectively define a thermal envelope (that is, cap) for each server/rack for is done by a global module that senses a variety of conditions, as described later, to direct global job scheduling and to control the cooling system components, skewing the cooling effort across racks and regions as needed to improve the overall efficiency of the cooling system.
- Another distinguishing feature of a preferred embodiment of the system is in its use of three controls for adapting a cooling system: the air flow rate directed at the racks from portable CRACs, the inlet temperature and the use of movable baffles to redirect air flow.
- Traditional solutions have largely looked at one or two of these adaptation techniques (mostly inlet temperature and somewhat rarely, air flow rate).
- FIG. 1 depicts the control system aspects of one embodiment of a data center management strategy. This control system uses a combination of proactive and reactive strategies:
- Proactive strategies two different types of dynamic proactive management of data centers are provided. These are:
- the reactive strategies include the following sub strategies:
- the overall goal of all of the control system elements, both proactive and reactive, is to maximize the overall system performance under the energy constraints dictated by the budgeting module.
- the budgeting module ensures that the relative components of the energy dissipated by the computing/communication elements and the cooling system are optimal.
- FIG. 2 A depicts the state of affairs in current servers and shows how the power dissipation and energy efficiency of a typical server varies with server utilization. As seen in FIG. 2 A , the energy-efficiency is quite low at low server loading (utilization) and the power dissipation remains relatively high. FIG. 2 A also depicts the typical operating points of servers—the typical average server loading is significantly lower than the peak loading—as a result, the overall energy efficiency is quite low at these typical operating points.
- FIG. 2 B depicts the intended overall impact of the present technology on server power dissipation and server energy efficiency plotted against server utilization.
- the present multi-tiered server power management technique (which subsumes standard power management techniques) improves the server energy efficiency dramatically and simultaneously reduces the power dissipation at lower server utilization levels.
- the overall server efficiency thus remains quite high at the typical load levels and across a wider range of loading, as shown in FIG. 2 B .
- servers can be more efficiently managed than presently feasible if they:
- Empirical energy dissipation models are preferably used to determine the energy consumed by a server and this estimate is used to cap the energy consumed by a server. This approach is adopted since it is not practical to use external power meters on each server to determine their energy consumption.
- Ks are constants determined empirically and the Us refer to the utilizations of the processor (U proc ), memory (U mem ), the disk(s) (U disk ) and the network (U net ).
- the operating system maintains and updates these utilization data.
- the actual measured power and the power estimated from the above equation are quite close and typically within 10%.
- a recent effort extends simplistic models of this nature to regression based predictive models that predict server energy consumption on long-running jobs as a function of the core energy dissipation, L2 cache misses and ambient temperature [LGT 08].
- the model of [LGT 08] is a good starting point for our efforts.
- the modified thread scheduler in contemporary Linux kernels will use these sampled measurements to guide local scheduling within a server so as to limit the server energy consumption within a sampling period to stay within the limit prescribed by the global energy/workload scheduler.
- the behavior of threads within the sampling periods will be classified as CPU bound, disk bound and network bound and schedule similar threads back-to-back to avoid unnecessary changes in the DVFS settings (and avoiding the energy overhead and relatively long latencies in changing such settings). This in turn addresses Requirements R3 and R4.
- the modified scheduler will also react to thermal emergencies as detected by external temperature sensors (which are read and recorded periodically by the scheduler itself on scheduling events within the kernel).
- Requirement R2 is implemented in the global scheduler, as described below, by keeping track of the workload trends (through monitoring of the incoming request queues at the load balancing switches) and job completion statistics. If the global scheduler sees a growth in the job arrival rate, it activates VMs/servers/racks as needed to cope with the additional workload. The overhead for such activation and deactivation, including the energy costs of moving VM contexts are accounted for in this process, and thus requirement R3 is also addressed.
- this technique can be moved to the kernel level for added efficiency, extend the classification to add memory bound jobs (jobs that trigger a high proportion of RAM activity, as evidenced by the on-chip cache miss instrumentation counter) and network bound job classes, for instance.
- This classification information is used to schedule jobs that match the characteristics of processor sockets with a preset independent performance or to cores within a multicore chip that permits the use of similar preset performance settings independently for each core.
- the preset performance settings are changed only under load increases that saturate the capacity of a core with a specific DVFS setting. This approach of exploiting pre-classed job addresses requirements R3 and R4 simultaneously.
- the global scheduler (GS) of a preferred embodiment of the system is responsible for the allocation of energy budgets for the VMs/servers/racks and the assignment of workload to the individual machines.
- the key requirement of the GS is that it has to be fast and scalable.
- the GS may be implemented on a few dedicated multicore machines which also implement the compact thermal analyzer and models. Multiple machines may be used to permit scalability; for a small server installation, it may be possible to implement all of the functions on a single multicore platform. These dedicated machines may also receive data from a variety of sources, which are optional, as shown in FIG. 1 .
- the GS maintains a variety of tables that record the energy/performance characteristics of each rack, its utilization statistics, and data on the environmental temperature computed from various sources.
- the GS also maintains a list of quality of service (QoS) requirements (guaranteed transaction rates, data delivery rates etc.) for implementing differentiated services.
- QoS quality of service
- the GS also senses the incoming work queue sizes at the load balancing switches and uses simple workload models to predict the impact of incoming workload.
- the simple workload models can simply classify incoming jobs based on the request types or use more sophisticated information about pre-classified repetitive jobs.
- the GS schedules the workload to maximize the workload allocated to active servers/racks, assuming VM support on all nodes.
- This allocation uses the thermal data—obtained from the compact model as well as from thermal sensors and using service guarantees as a constraint. Cooling requirements and changes to the energy budget for the computing/storage and communication equipment for the allocated workload are also assigned based on a variety of heuristics. Some possible heuristics include (but are not limited to):
- the GS keeps track of the job dispatch rate and the size of the incoming queues in the front-end load balancing switches to keep track of the workload trend.
- This trend data is used to activate or deactivate servers and racks and redirect cooling efforts as needed. The energy expended in such activation/deactivation and in migrating VMs, where necessary is accounted for in the allocations.
- Alternative scheduling may also be employed, including ones that dynamically switch scheduling strategies based on the thermal conditions and current workload. As an example, if all servers are being operated in the high energy-efficiency region as shown in FIG. 2 B , then it may be better to perform an allocation that balances the load across the racks to avoid the formation of hot spots in the server room.
- the GS has similarities with data center configuration systems and mangers from several vendors (e.g., IBM's Tivoli suite) [IBM 08a, IBM 08b].
- IBM's Tivoli suite IBM's Tivoli suite
- the present system differs from these schedulers in at least the way server energy dissipation estimates are made at a finer granularity, in making use of a thermal model to predict and cope with thermal conditions, and in using dynamic cooling systems.
- the present technique is essentially a control system that employs reactive as well as proactive actuations to meet the goal of improving the overall energy efficiency of a data center. As such, it has to be scalable, stable and provide appropriate sense-and-actuate latencies. Another important requirement of the system is that the various control elements should act in a synchronized and coordinated manner, avoiding “power struggles” [RRT+ 08], where one control loop fights against another inadvertently.
- control system requirements are met by a using a hierarchical implementation that uses independent control elements at each level and by using a progressive top-down approach to dictate the energy/performance goals of one level to be explicitly dictated by the control system at the immediately upper level.
- the hierarchical control mechanisms of the activities within a computing system also ensures its scalability: separate control loops are used to ensure the energy budgets at the rack level and at the level of individual servers within the rack are monitored and managed separately. For large data centers, another level can be added to make the system more scalable, based on the allocation and control of the energy budgets for a set of neighboring racks.
- the control of the computing equipment is based on the notion of update intervals within a sampling period, with sensor and model outputs collected at the end of each update period. At the end of a sampling period, the values of respective sensor and model data output are averaged, and control decisions taken at the end of a sampling period based on these average values, as introduced in [PKG 01]. This approach smoothes out the impact of burst activities that are inevitable within a sampling interval and enables a stable control system for the computing elements.

Abstract
Description
-
- The use of fast models for predicting local and global thermal conditions to promote overall energy efficiency. The thermal models, in turn, are driven by empirical models of energy dissipation within servers and switches as a function of the measured values of a variety of actual activity counts. This approach of jointly using accurate energy dissipation models for the computing equipment and fast thermal models permit the cooling solutions (adjustment of inlet temperature, air flow speed and pattern) to be proactive.
- The use of a global scheduler to allocate individual energy budgets to servers as a function of the workload, the predicted thermal trend, actual server utilizations and temperature and airflow measurements from sensors. The cooling efforts are also matched to the predicted thermal trends and are rack specific, instead of being rack agnostic, as in traditional systems. Alternatively stated, the cooling efforts for a rack are directed, dynamic and matched to the thermal conditions in the rack's environment. This results in the most energy-efficient use of the cooling resources.
- The use of modified server operating system kernels that permit the individual servers to stay within their assigned energy consumption budget. Software solutions at the operating system kernel level exercise existing power management actuators inside the processor and other components of servers in a proactive fashion to stay within the dictated energy budget and in a reactive fashion based on the thermal condition of its environment. Thus, the system uses a predictive model of the thermal conditions based on analysis of a set of “tasks” or other prospective activities, as well as a feedback driven control which employs sensors or indicia or actual conditions. The predictive model may be adaptive, that is, the predictive model may be modified in dependence on the actual outcomes as determined by the sensors or indicia. In addition to the sensor or indicia inputs, the system may also receive a price or cost input, which permits a price or cost optimization, rather than an efficiency optimization. By imposing an external price or cost consideration, the system can be made responsive to peak energy demand considerations, and also a prioritization of tasks, which may each be associated with a task value.
-
- 1) Incoming queue sizes to switch and their growth or shrink rate
- 2) Utilization of active servers, as measured by the OS
- 3) Temperature data sensed directly or indirectly.
- 4) Air flow (or other cooling facility) data
-
- The energy and performance overhead associated with job rescheduling and VM management and server-local scheduling overhead are ignored. The communication infrastructures within a data center are heavily utilized and are prone to congestion, resulting in significant added energy dissipation if jobs are rescheduled.
- A simple rescheduling of the jobs may not make the most energy-efficient use of the servers and racks—the operating configurations of such servers have to be continuously adapted to fit the characteristics of the workload.
- Simple reactive control systems, as proposed in all existing and emerging solutions, do not address the problem of thermal lags and delays associated with temperature sensors, whose inputs are used by the actuators in these systems.
- The implicit assumption in most current systems that that all servers and racks have a uniform external cooling requirement may not be the best one for improving overall energy efficiency. While we do have some proportional cooling facilities in the form of automatically adjusted CPU cooling fan and enclosure fan speeds, external cooling systems are generally uniform and oblivious of the specific cooling needs of an entire rack. In general, higher energy efficiency will result by redirecting additional cooling to regions that can benefit from it, resulting in a dynamic, directed cooling system.
-
- Sensors: On the thermal/mechanical side, the sensors monitor the temperature and air flow rates in various parts of the rack and the room. On the computing side, the sensors are in the form of hardware instrumentation counters within the processing cores, counters for device and system utilizations maintained by the operating systems, variables that record the incoming queue size and others.
- Actuators: Our management policy exercises various actuators to adapt the cooling system and the servers. On the thermal/mechanical side, the actuators adjust fan rates for regulating the air flow from CRACs, operate servo motors to adjust the baffles for air flow direction and use electromechanical subsystems to adjust the inlet temperature. On the computing side, the software elements used as actuators (a) control the voltage and frequency settings of the cores and activate/deactivate individual cores to ensure that they do not exceed their allocated energy budget and to respond to thermal emergencies at the board/component level; (b) schedule ready processes assigned to a server and adjust core settings (using (a)) to maximize the energy efficiency of the server; (c) perform global task scheduling and virtual machine activation, migration and deactivation based on the dynamically computed thermal envelopes and rack/server level energy budgets.
- Controllers: The control policy itself will be comprised of two parts; the proactive and reactive, which are described in detail below.
-
- 1. Because of thermal lags, temperature sensors are unable to detect the onset of thermal emergencies due to sudden bursty activities with the server components, including those within the DRAM, cores, local (swap) disks, if any, and the network interfaces. Empirical power models for the server energy dissipation are therefore derived, using activity counters maintained within the Operating System and the built-in hardware instrumentation counters, as described below. The estimate of the energy dissipation of an individual server is based on sampled estimations of the activities (similar to that described in [PKG 01]). This estimate of the energy dissipated by a server within a sampling interval is used to guide local scheduling and control the local system settings. The estimates of the server energy dissipations within a rack are also used as the inputs to a fast, optimized and calibrated thermal model that provides data on the thermal trends, taking into account the environmental conditions. The computed thermal trends are used, in turn, to guide global and rack level job scheduling and VM management as well as to proactively direct cooling efforts towards a region of rising temperature/hot spot.
- 2. The front end queues of the switches used for load balancing are a good indicator of the offered computing load to a server. These queues are therefore monitored to proactively schedule new jobs in a manner that improves the overall energy efficiency of the data center. This proactive monitoring of the input queue also permits absorption of some of the latencies involved in activating racks and servers that are in a standby mode, as well as to absorb some of the latencies in VM migration. In fact, as described below, the proactive monitoring of the incoming queues of the load balancing switches also permits activation/deactivation and migration of VMs, taking into account the energy overhead of such management.
-
- 1. A management system to ensure that the energy consumption of the individual servers does not exceed their dictated energy budget. This subsystem controls the computing components as well as the network interface. This management system is part of the modified Linux kernel of the servers that uses a server power estimation model and the sampled value of the instrumentation counters found in modern microprocessors and other statistics maintained by the kernel to control system settings (including the DVFS settings).
- 2. A subsystem within the kernel that reacts to local and neighborhood thermal emergencies or trends, as detected from local/neighborhood temperature sensors as well as information generated by the fast thermal models/analyzer to either shut down individual servers/racks or to reconfigure server settings to reduce their energy dissipation. This subsystem is an added protection mechanism that works in conjunction with the other energy management systems—both reactive and proactive, and deals with high-impact unexpected emergencies such as CRAC failures.
- 3. In conjunction with (2) above, a subsystem that monitors the local/neighborhood thermal trends to allocate and direct local cooling capacity in a focused fashion to minimize energy consumption from the cooling system. This will operate on a slower time scale than the computing reactive strategies. The computing approach of (2) above and this thermal systems approach should operate synergistically to minimize the overall global energy usage while maintaining compute performance. The reactive controller will constantly tradeoff energy minimization between the computing and thermal systems activities.
- 4. A subsystem within the global budgeting module that reacts to global thermal emergencies based on sensed environmental conditions in the room and trend data computed by the fast thermal model/analyzer.
- 5. A subsystem within the global budgeting module that reacts to the data on actual server/rack utilizations to throttle down servers/racks as needed.
-
- R1) Have mechanisms to put a hard limit on server energy dissipation to avoid thermal emergencies.
- R2) Have a proactive mechanism to activate or deactivate virtual machines or servers or entire racks to match the offered load taking into account any energy and performance overhead for activation and deactivation.
- R3) Have techniques that implement a more energy-proportional relationship between server power dissipation and the server utilization, as shown in
FIG. 2B . - R4) Extend the operating region over which a server has high energy efficiency: this permits higher server energy efficiencies even at moderate load levels.
P server =K 0 +K 1 ×U proc +K 2 ×U mem +K 3 ×U disk +K 4 ×U net
-
- Extrapolate the thermal output of the active servers and revise its energy budget and cooling requirement based on the updates to number of jobs (existing plus newly-assigned) assigned to the server.
- Use the energy requirement characteristics of known, repetitive jobs and the heuristic above for unclassified jobs to plan the schedule.
- Use the data maintained on the average job completion rate and average energy requirement of jobs to guide the allocations.
